  • One for All - Artemisia Absinthium (Afsanteen) “A Potent Unani Drug”
    Review article One for All - Artemisia absinthium (Afsanteen) “A Potent Unani Drug” Ayshah Hashimi1, Mantasha Binth Siraj2, Yasmeen Ahmed3, Md. Akhtar Siddiqui4, Umar Jahangir5* 1,2,3 M.D. Scholar, 4 Professor, 5 Assistant Professor Department of Moalajat, School of Unani Medical Education and Research Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT The therapeutic use of the wormwood plant Artemisia absinthium L. dates back to at least Roman times. There are more than 200 plants in the genus Artemisia- including southern wormwood, petite wormwood and Grande wormwood and encompasses about 500 species. The best-known species of wormwood is Artemisia absinthium, native to temperate Eurasia and North Africa and is branded for its extreme bitterness. It is a magical greens booze used as carminative to support healthy appetite, balances healthy flora, cleanse the digestive tract of parasite and toxins. It possesses anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, anti-helminthic and anti-depressant activity. Thujone excites nervous system when taken in small amount. Due to contrary history of wormwood, its application in individuals should be preceded by a thorough and cautious risk-benefit analysis. In this appraisal an attempt is done to validate scientifically, mentioned therapeutic potential of Artemisia absinthium in classical Unani literature using PubMed, Science Direct researches. Keywords Afsanteen, Wormwood, Thujone, Unani, Hepatoprotective INTRODUCTION largest and highly advanced family with approximately 1528 (Mukherjee, 2006), (TYROCITY, 2018) or 1620 (Petruzzello, Healing with medicinal plants is as old as mankind itself. 2018), (Panero, et al., 2012) genera and 22750 or 23600 Since prehistoric times, in quest for rescue for their disease, the species of herbs, shrubs and trees.

  • Brown Citrus Aphid Parasitoid, Lipolexis Scutellaris Mackauer
    EENY181 doi.org/10.32473/edis-in338-2000 Brown Citrus Aphid Parasitoid, Lipolexis oregmae Gahan (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae)1 Marjorie A. Hoy and Ru Nguyen2 The Featured Creatures collection provides in-depth profiles The brown citrus aphid, Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy), was of insects, nematodes, arachnids and other organisms first detected in Florida in November 1995 in Dade and relevant to Florida. These profiles are intended for the use of Broward Counties. The brown citrus aphid now has spread interested laypersons with some knowledge of biology as well throughout the citrus growing region of Florida and could, as academic audiences. in the future, spread to other citrus-growing regions in the United States. Introduction The brown citrus aphid is a pest of citrus in Asia, apparently preferring citrus species and a few closely-related Rutaceae as hosts. The brown citrus aphid has a relatively simple life history. All individuals are parthenogenetic females, producing live young. A single female thus can initiate a colony, and populations can increase very rapidly. Nymphs mature in six to eight days at temperatures of 20°C or higher, with a single aphid theoretically able to produce a population of 4,400 within three weeks if natural enemies are absent. The brown citrus aphid causes economic losses both in groves and nurseries. Adults and nymphs feed on young citrus foliage, depleting the sap. Their feeding can result in leaf curling and shortened terminal branches. They also produce honeydew, which allows sooty mold to grow. More importantly, this aphid is able to transmit citrus tristeza virus more efficiently than other aphid species found on citrus in Florida.

Hovenkamp7, Michael G. Gilbert8, Hans P. Nooteboom7, Barbara S. Parris9, Christopher Haufler10, Masahiro Kato11, Alan R. Smith12 Plants mostly epiphytic and epilithic, a few terrestrial. Rhizomes shortly to long creeping, dictyostelic, bearing scales. Fronds monomorphic or dimorphic, mostly simple to pinnatifid or 1-pinnate (uncommonly more divided); stipes cleanly abscising near their bases or not (most grammitids), leaving short phyllopodia; veins often anastomosing or reticulate, sometimes with included veinlets, or veins free (most grammitids); indument various, of scales, hairs, or glands. Sori abaxial (rarely marginal), orbicular to oblong or elliptic, occasionally elongate, or sporangia acrostichoid, sometimes deeply embedded, sori exindusiate, sometimes covered by cadu- cous scales (soral paraphyses) when young; sporangia with 1–3-rowed, usually long stalks, frequently with paraphyses on sporangia or on receptacle; spores hyaline to yellowish, reniform, and monolete (non-grammitids), or greenish and globose-tetrahedral, trilete (most grammitids); perine various, usually thin, not strongly winged or cristate.

Brown2 The Featured Creatures collection provides in-depth profiles The initial counties found to be infested in Florida were of insects, nematodes, arachnids and other organisms Dade and Broward, and the majority of infested trees were relevant to Florida. These profiles are intended for the use of in dooryard situations. Several months after detection, interested laypersons with some knowledge of biology as well infestations were discovered in the commercial lime as academic audiences. production area, indicating range expansion about 15 miles south of the area delimited by the original survey. An Introduction eventual spread throughout Florida is expected. The brown citrus aphid, Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy), is one of the world’s most serious pests of citrus. Although Identification brown citrus aphid alone can cause serious damage to Worldwide, 16 species of aphids are reported to feed citrus, it is even more of a threat to citrus because of its regularly on citrus. Four more species may be occasional efficient transmission of citrus tristeza closterovirus (CTV). pests (Blackman and Eastop 1984; Stoetzel 1994).
